We have a friend in Jesus.

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us. Heb. 9:24

Once a year, on the Day of Atonement, the High Priest would enter into the Holy of Holies and offer a sacrifice for the sins of the people.  This was repeated year after year because the blood of sheep and goats could not take away sin.  This offering was symbolic of what Christ would do in reality.

Jesus died once and the blood He shed is a perfect and complete sacrifice for our sins.  After His death, Jesus arose and ascended to Heaven itself.  He entered not into the holy place made with hands, but into the very presence of God.  He is there as our advocate and High Priest.

We have a friend in Jesus.
